"Please, sister, I beg you, let me go." Lu Kenian grasped the servant's wrist, her body slowly sliding down until she knelt on the ground.
"What are you doing? Get up! You’re due in a month!" The servant hurriedly set down the bowl and prepared to help Lu Kenian up.
"I’m begging you, save me! Save the child in my belly!"
As Lu Kenian cried, she recounted her plight to this unfamiliar servant.
In this strange place, she had no phone and could not contact anyone. With strict surveillance around her, she could only place her hope in a servant who might have a soft heart.
Although the servant had been severely warned, Lu Kenian was just too pitiful.
"I'm sorry, I can't help you!"
She shouted loudly towards the outside and then squeezed Lu Kenian's hand, whispering, "The shift changes at midnight."
Lu Kenian found a key in her hand.
——
Late at night
Cold Thunder was awakened by the sound of his phone ringing.
"Boss, that woman might not make it! We're at the hospital; please come right away!"
Cold Thunder cursed under his breath and quickly got dressed to head to the hospital.
The hospital was particularly cold at night. Outside the operating room stood bodyguards sent by Cold Thunder to watch over Lu Kenian.
Seeing Cold Thunder approaching, the bodyguard, drenched in sweat, immediately stepped forward.
"Boss Leng, that woman tried to escape tonight, but we caught her. However, she accidentally fell and is currently in critical condition."
"What’s the situation inside?" Cold Thunder frowned. His ability to marry Chu Yun depended on whether this woman could successfully give birth to a son. With only a month left until the due date, such an incident had occurred!
"We're not sure."
" Cold Thunder..." A gentle voice came from behind.
Cold Thunder turned around to see Chu Yun standing weakly behind him.
Chu Yun had already been discharged from the hospital. He wasn't sure if it was because of the severe injuries she sustained in the car accident, but despite her efforts to recuperate, she still looked unwell.
Cold Thunder immediately took off his coat and draped it over Chu Yun's shoulders.
"What are you doing here? You should have worn something warmer."
"I heard she’s about to give birth, so I came to check on her."
"What's there to see about giving birth? Is it worth you coming over in the middle of the night?"
Chu Yun wore a relaxed and cheerful smile.
" Cold Thunder, don’t say that. She is having a baby for us; we should treat her better."
"Who told her to crash into you! This is her own doing!"
Chu Yun gently placed her hand over Cold Thunder's lips. "Don't say that. I think she didn't mean it back then. Even if she did, now that she's having a baby for us, it can be considered a balance of good and bad."
"Mm." Cold Thunder could not refute; Chu Yun was always so kind.
For the past few months, Chu Yun had been saying in his ear to treat that woman a little better, telling the bodyguards not to be harsh with her, and instructing the servants to take good care of her.
Such words had been repeated hundreds of times.
"Sit down and wait for a while."
"Okay."
Cold Thunder helped Chu Yun sit on the bench outside.
" Cold Thunder, you promised me that once this child is born, everything from before would be wiped clean. You need to give her some money; it's not easy for a girl."
"I remember."
Suddenly, the door to the operating room opened, and a nurse walked out.
"Are the family members of the patient here?"
Cold Thunder stood up. "What is it?"
"The patient is experiencing severe complications during childbirth. Guardian, do you want to save the child?"
"Of course, save the child!" Cold Thunder exclaimed in anger.
The nurse was startled, not by Cold Thunder's rage but by his answer.
This was no longer the old society; nowadays, there were fewer people who would directly say to save the child. However, they still had to follow protocol and ask.
"What are you still standing there for? Protect the child!"
Cold Thunder snatched the pen from the nurse's hand and signed his name.
The nurse immediately retreated back into the operating room, looking dejected.
" Cold Thunder, isn't this a bit too much? We can't let this girl die just so we can have a son," Chu Yun hurriedly stepped forward.
"Not at all! She caused you to have your Uterus removed, not knowing how many children we lost because of her!"
"But..." Chu Yun didn't continue, a barely noticeable smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"I'm going out for a smoke."
After Cold Thunder said this, he prepared to head to the hallway for a smoke. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly felt something under his foot. He looked down and his eyes widened in surprise.
It was...
Cold Thunder immediately bent down to pick it up. It was a red string tied to a heart-shaped stone.
There was a word carved on the stone: "Nian."
"Wow, Cold Thunder, how can your handwriting be so ugly?"
"You think my handwriting is ugly? I got this from the mountain! Wearing this will help you find your soulmate soon! I had a master bless it."
"Considering how thoughtful you were, I guess I'll reluctantly accept it."
The conversation from the past vividly came to mind!
This was given to Lu Kenian. Why is it here?
Lu Kenian hasn't been to work for a long time.
The secretary said her father came by and mentioned that there was an incident back home, so she had to return temporarily.
Later, her father helped her with the resignation procedures.
The Cold Thunder made countless calls but couldn't get through to Lu Kenian's phone.
He suddenly had a bad feeling.
Could it be...
The Cold Thunder strode toward the operating room with the red string in hand and directly pulled open the door.
The medical staff inside were startled.
"Sir, this is the operating room; you can't come in!"
"Sir, please step outside!"
The Cold Thunder ignored the obstruction from the few people in front of him and charged inside; several medical staff couldn't stop him.
Inside the operating room, Lu Kenian had already fainted.
The Cold Thunder pulled aside the last curtain blocking his way!
Lu Kenian's pale face came into view.
"Sir, please get out quickly. You have bacteria on you; this is the operating room!" The doctors were somewhat at a loss.
This was the first time they had seen a family member rush directly into the operating room.
"Guardian..."
At that moment, Cold Thunder felt his legs go weak.
"What did you say, sir?"
"Guardian! I want you to Guardian! If she dies, you all will pay for it!"
"Okay, okay, please step outside! We will do our best!"
Cold Thunder felt as if he had been completely drained, and the medical staff hurriedly pulled him out.
He hung his head like a child who had done something wrong, the light in his eyes extinguished like a candle snuffed out in an instant.
Chu Yun stood up, staring blankly at Cold Thunder.
She had heard his shouting in the operating room just moments ago.
He had ultimately found out.
"How could it be her..."
